Jewish Seniors Alliance

I'm going to be writing for the Jewish Seniors Alliance in Vancouver. You can find it online. My column is under Book Reviews. I'll review children's books (old and new) and give tips on reading to children. I might also include some of my unpublished stories. Even though the site is for Seniors, it will be suitable for anyone who is interested in children's stories. Enjoy!

PJ Library

It stands for Pajama library. PJ Library gives books to families who want to read Jewish bedtime stories together. I just found out that they've chosen 'Can Hens Give Milk?' as one of the books they'll be giving away to families in North America. What I didn't know, until I checked their website, was that they'd already chosen my earlier book 'The Kugel Valley Klezmer Band,' quite a while ago! It was the U.S. edition and somehow I never got the information. In Canada the title of the softcover version of that book was changed to 'Shira's Hanukkah Gift.' Confusing to everyone, even me - ESPECIALLY me. But I feel honoured to have had two books chosen for this project.
Keep on writing!
